At New CardioVascular Horizons Meeting in New Orleans. Awesome Meeting!

[EndoDoc @Endovascular]

Flow reversal (instead of distal protection) is very effective protection in carotid artery stenting. There is a significant learning curve

[EndoDoc @Endovascular]

Endovascular repair of acute Type B aortic dissections is best performed by sealing the entry tear. IVUS is helpful to assess true lumen.

[EndoDoc @Endovascular]

Renal artery stenting can be completed using embolic protection filters. This is the future of renal artery stenting.

[EndoDoc @Endovascular]

Cannulation of the contralateral gate of an AAA stent-graft can be facilitated by continuously rotating the image intensifier back and forth

[EndoDoc @Endovascular]

A retroperitoneal conduit for vascular access in thoracic endografting procedures is essential if the iliac arteries are diseased.

[EndoDoc @Endovascular]

Brachial artery access can be facilitated by placing injecting contrast in the a-line in the same arm and roadmapping the brachial artery.

[EndoDoc @Endovascular]

Coiling or plugging the internal iliac artery when treating an iliac artery aneurysm is important and often staged to allow collateralizatio

[EndoDoc @Endovascular]

Most coronary artery stents are drug-eluting while all currently approved stents for peripheral vascular disease are bare metal stents.

[EndoDoc @Endovascular]

An endoleak is not an emergency. Definition: continued pressurization of an aneurysm sac outside a stent-graft and contained by the aorta.

[EndoDoc @Endovascular]

Endovascular procedures rely on accessing the femoral artery through a small puncture through the skin. Other arteries can also be used.

[EndoDoc @Endovascular]

There are currently 3 thoracic aortic stent-grafts approved for use in the US by FDA - all for thoracic aortic aneurysms.

[EndoDoc @Endovascular]

Endovascular refers to a less-invasive technique for the treatment of cardiovascular diseases.

[EndoDoc @Endovascular]

A stiff amplatz wire or a lundiquist .035" guidewire is important for aortic stent graft procedures.

[EndoDoc @Endovascular]

The Spider FX embolic protection filter (EV3, Inc) can be useful when placed in the popliteal artery for interventions on the SFA.

[EndoDoc @Endovascular]

Peripheral interventions are usually performed through 6F, 7F or 8F sheaths.

[EndoDoc @Endovascular]

Usually .014" wires are good for below-the-knee interventional procedures for arterial vascular disease.
